Course Development

CUSTOM COURSE DEVELOPMENT AND INSTRUCTION

Perhaps your company has a significant investment in proprietary
software. Poor training - or worse yet no training at all - can
turn a technological masterpiece into a business disaster. Don't
let that happen to you. Caliber Data Training can develop and deliver
custom courseware for your new and existing applications.

Do you have in-house software packages which are like
no other packages in the world?

How do you train new
employees to be productive? One Caliber client uses proprietary
software which has been developed
over a ten year period to provide services to its clients . The
training materials were never updated. Many hours of a new employee’s
time were wasted as they fumbled with trying to learn their primary
work tool. Caliber worked with the product and the company’s
employees to develop and teach a specialized course for them. Productivity
soared for new employees and even existing employees who attended
the class.

Have you tried to install an off-the-shelf
software package like ChangeMan?

Usually ChangeMan requires a lot of
customization to integrate it into present testing and migration
methods. A standard course is a good start but leaves the student
with many questions on “How do we do it here?” Caliber
has helped a major financial institution develop customized ChangeMan
course materials and teach it. We became an essential part of
the process management team.

When you teach project management, do you want your employees
to learn how projects are developed within your methodology?

Caliber
has assisted clients in developing custom course materials for
project management courses which are integrated with the company’s
systems development methodology. These companies applauded PMI’s
efforts to support a body of knowledge as it relates to project
management. But, given the limits of time and money, our clients
insisted that their employees know how project management should
be performed at their companies. You only have so much time to
train employees. Why not use their time to the company’s
best advantage.

When you use off-the-shelf productivity tools like SAS
or SyncSort, or do you use only certain features?

Caliber helped
a client train a large number of students to learn exactly what
they needed to know using examples from their work environment.
Training was performed in a series of one and two day classes.
Management reported that they are getting more work done with
the same number of people. As their business grows and they hire
more employees, Caliber will train those employees to make them
productive as quickly as possible.

Leave the training to us and let your programmers do what they
do best. We can tweak our existing courses or develop new courses
for your work environment.
